Things people say
Does it bug you when people misuse a phrase?
One that I hear all the time is, "That judge just splits the baby." What they really mean is he divides things 50 - 50.
or
"I could care less" when what they really mean is that, "They couldn't care less"
or
"The proof is in the pudding" which makes no sense, but the actual quote "The proof of the pudding is in the eating" does.
Do you have any to add to the list?
